    It's obviously his winter trainer.....
    FCN 5 belt driven fixie for city bits
    CAADX 105 beastie for bumpy bits
    Litespeed L3 for Strava bits

    Smoke me a kipper, I'll be back for breakfast.

    I am wondering what does he take as a spare inner tube? A sock?

    Brakeless and no foot retention?! Crazy. Probably sneakers through red lights when he thinks no-one is looking.

    Is this going to degrade into another round of shoehorning tyred old jokes in?
    Sometimes parts break. Sometimes you crash. Sometimes it’s your fault.

    That must be his hi-tec-brid. Does he put footie boots on when he wants to go off road?

    Heel be sorry. What will he use if he gets a flat? Pumps?

    Who would he see if he got a flat? A podiatrist?

    It's impressive that he's running flats on that bike, without a care in the world.

    You can all joke, poor guy.

    It's his sole means of transport.
